The 2020 Estate Tempranillo is a beautifully aromatic wine, offering notes of dried rose petal, wild herbs, and red plum. On the palate, it reveals a fine balance of structure, depth, and gentle earthiness, with dusty tannins and a savory backbone that reflects its Old World roots.
Elegant yet restrained, this wine benefits from decanting and has the potential to evolve gracefully in the cellar. A true expression of Lodi Tempranillo, grounded in both terroir and tradition.
